Background and composition

Identify was produced by J.Y. Park to identify Got7's identity, concluding that it was a "familiar magnetism." [1]

The album consists of eleven tracks, including the title tracks from Got7's two previous albums, namely "Girls Girls Girls" from Got It? and "A" from Got Love. The overall theme is love. The title track "Stop Stop It," which promoted the album, was written and composed by J.Y. Park: its genre is hip-hop and talks about a man who wants to confess his love but is unable to, thus singing his sadness. [2] "Gimme," whose melodies and chord progression are reminiscent of the music from the Nineties, [3] expresses the desire to forget a former lover and start a new love, while the R&B "Take My Hand" talks about a girl whose beauty makes someone want to hold her hand, and "Just Tonight" talks about the excitement of two lovers. [4] "Moonlight" and "She's a Monster" are also R&B, [3] with the latter recalling the sound of the 2000s and comparing the loved woman to a monster that controls the mind and body of her partner. [5]
